New record for CCF ?

wait until school starts

Ya that thread took off I left a post and when I checked later that day it was 4 pages long, guess you have to say your in a 60mph CC to get everone excited.

40...check your posting.

here's the deal about 60 mph in a CC, unless you have modified the hull and use nitrous, Like Bill does, the best your going to do is the low 50's regardless. Secondly if the speed isn't from a GPS device it's not accurate to start with, Thirdly the speedo's only go to 50 mph, so if they read higher odds are they did not change the pitote's and remove the balance tubes when they changed the speedo's and they will not be accurate at any speed. Fourthly you came to the wrong place to bullsh*t people about how fast a Nautique will go because there are several people on this site that have heavily modified their engines, me included, and use GPS or radar guns to verify their speeds and know exactly what they a capable of doing, So your commint about doing 60 is the only reason everyone jumped on board and posted as much as they did. Lastly read Hollywood's signature, that's me he is refering too and I know a little about engines and making them go fast.

the was a scarab out there one day i watched it and man are those things lound.AND NO NOT A FULL OUT SCARAB.it was a smaller version.and theres a baja parked in the slip down from us and thats a heck of a boat.

um this is no bull.my best friend got me into boats.and his dad works for wellcraft and we were in his dads 36ft coastal boat w/ three 300's goin 70 and you could bearly hang on!his dad fishes flw kingfish tour. its the kellogs boat.

Ken,
BTW, glad you are recovering.
I've been in a friends bass boat at 60. I wasn't interested in hitting any rollers. You can feel the boat sort of gently riding on an air pocket.   But that's been my only experience at that speed.   For my purposes, 40+ is sufficient, enough to barefoot my friends who like that.

no cookies!gotta love that kebbler elf!

The fastest boat I've been on was a Bass Boat on Dale hollow it did about 75 with four of us on it back in the late 80's it had a hugh evenrude outboard but then again it wasn't a GPS speed and you can't trust the speedo's. Just sitting so low to the water really inceases the effect and makes it seem a lot faster than you actually are going then cross a wake at speed, that will get your attaintion.. Never try and go that fast unless the water is like glass it's very dangerous and extremely foolish with a little chop and other boats around,


OOOHhh one other thing the guy that owned the boat die in it later on that year.

Since you guys brought up the off-shore, cigarett type boats make sure the boat is in top running order before you go that fast, I had a couple of friends riding in a 35-40' Fountane (sp) when a driveshaft broke and it did a power turn like our boats can do and banged up everyone pretty good several broken bones but everyone lived.

I did a funeral for one of three guys in a bass boat that hit a dock ramp at 50+. Very tragic, but they were driving at night. Hi speed on a lake at night, very dangerous.

Joe you have to get to the best fishing hole first otherwise you don't have the mosnster bass come weigh in time.

Have you seen this? Mercury

Got a ride at 104 once, when young and oblivious, never again.

Ya, pretty much... Boat just had one seat; mine was the fuel cell. Everything was a blur, and the wind wanted to rip my head off.
